What do reviewers say about Gretel and Cigar Rum?
The fairy tale works because it ends wrong. That's this fragrance too: starts sweet enough to eat, finishes with smoke in your clothes. If you want a gingerbread that plays nice, look elsewhere.Gretel
This is for the one who orders the glass that's already half-empty. Not trying to impress. Just comfortable in the smoke. The rum-tobacco pairing works because neither fights for attention.Cigar Rum
